Maicon 'Deserves Recognition' After Staying With Inter - Agent

On Monday, Inter president Massimo Moratti declared that star defender Maicon was indeed staying put, despite interest from Jose Mourinho and Real Madrid over the course of the summer. The player's agent, Antonio Caliendo, has commented on the situation, suggesting that Maicon is deserving of - and eager for - a pay raise after his immediate future had been decided.

"I think as the minimum Maicon should be recognised," he was quoted as saying by Ansa.
